Hello everyone. It has been almost a month since my last post. A lot has happened since then. On the 3rd of October I was laid off from my job as a CAD Technician. That is the reason I have not posted since then. I need to find a job….quick! I know that God has something lined up for me its just a matter of time before someone calls me. I have like 3 million resumes and applications out there.
God is always faithful, even when we are not. I also had the opportunity to attend The Deeper Conference at the First Baptist Church in Woodstock, GA. That was very eye opening. I will talk about that a little later. During this down time I am reading the Word more, and praying more, and just seeking what God has for me in a ministerial sense. My heart is broken for sinners. I want to see as many people saved as possible. Well that is all I can type for now. Please continue to keep me in your prayers. God bless you all.

Hi brother
When is the last time you read Psalm 139? It is one of my absolute favourites. I have put it below for ease of reading here. I love the intimacy of David sharing his heart with his Father, he understood how much God was a part of him. I so want you to know too and if you already know, then to be encouraged and reminded. God knows what He is doing with you.
1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall [a] on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b]
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
a Psalm 139:11 Vulgate and Symmachus read cover.
b Psalm 139:14 Following Masoretic Text and Targum; Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate read You are fearfully wonderful.

Howzit Cary? (a true South African greeting for you this fine evening!)
Just a sisterly check in!
Catch ya later
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith–more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire–may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:3-9 ESV)
